I could use a tool like that here in Central Florida.

When you get it, please post a review of weight, balance, quality of steel and ability to hold an edge.

I have been thinking of doing the 3/4flap thing and making one out of a chainsaw bar, but since I can't do heat treat in my own shop, I'd really rather just buy one.

Thanks.

One I saw was likely closer to 30” overall length.

there is a US made version of that, similar blade, slightly different handle,

thinking the .gov issued it as well as the commercial market,,

Still looking around a bit now that I know what it is actually called.
I’ll let you all know which I decide on. Likely to hike again with the fella that has it this weekend so I’ll see if it has any markings on it.

I am going to say that is the exact tool there.

Likely discontinued for awhile as no one has it online.
